It's National School Lunch Week! 🍎

To kick off , AzFBN team members caught up with@osbornschools students as they enjoyed sloppy Joes crafted by featuring local beef from (an AzFBN Friends of the Farm partner).

The collaboration with K4 was blossomed by Cory Alexander, Director of Child Nutrition at Osborn School District, bringing fresh local beef for classic school lunch favorites like the sloppy Joe. Once Cory started sourcing the beef through K4, he also got the word out to other schools, which helped bring in more business for K4 AND reduced cost for the schools.

While some things may have changed since our elementary school days, there's one thing that never will - lunchtime in the cafeteria with friends is still the most beloved and crucial part of the school day for many kids.

Get nostalgic with us: What school meal got you pumped for the school day when you heard it over the morning announcements? 📣

💡Networking isn't just for conferences. Do work you're proud of, talk to everyone about it, and occasionally the universe pays you back in free car repairs.

Last week, Meg and Braden represented AzFBN at the United Food Bank conference (we ❤️ the sweatshirts, UFB!)

They nearly ran out of business cards while sharing information about AzFBN's education and training offerings for food bankers, school nutrition work, Tribal work, and farm-to-food bank work. They got lots of great feedback about our advocacy work and heard rave reviews about the produce boxes from our Rio Rico warehouse.

But inclement weather and Northern Arizona hills, in Meg's words, made the drive home feel more like the opening scene of a true crime podcast.🌩The company car was acting up.

⛅Enter: Tim Storms Service Center in Pinetop, AZ.

Meg and Braden chatted with the shop owner about food banking as the mechanic tinkered with the car. When the issue was fixed, Tim Storms Service Center wouldn't accept payment. They insisted on giving their services for free because they appreciate the work AzFBN does to end hunger for their neighbors.

🙌So if you're in Pinetop and need a repair shop, look for Tim Storms Service Center (a.k.a Storms Automotive). They're good people - trust Meg and Braden.
